An Introduction to Graphic Novels

I've been reading Graphic Novels for about five years now and I remember when I started I didn't really know where to begin so this is for anyone who was in the same position as me.

I will split the recommendations into genres so hopefully, there will be something for everyone. I will leave Goodreads and Amazon links to each of the books so you can find some more out about them. I have loved so many of these so I hope you do too.

My Reading Tastes Are Changing

For the last couple of years, I feel like this has become a reoccurring blog post but I want to talk about it now because I think something is actually happening in my reading life. My reading tastes are changing. I've felt it for a while. I haven't really been drawn to YA titles that much anymore especially contemporary.

Enter two brothers – irresistible, charming, languidly sexy Kit and surly, silent Hugo. Suddenly there’s

Over the course of the last year, I would like to think that I have done this and looking at did a good job considering I have been so busy over the last year.
